Victorian 9ct Back & Front Oval Locket with Ivy Leaf Motif

577U
Written by Olly Gerrish

A charming 9ct gold back and front locket that was made circa 1880. The term back and front means that the hinges and inner parts of this locket are metal.  The rest is 9ct gold. which was common practice in the Victorian era. It has been beautifully engraved with ivy leaves, orange blossom and pansies and has a cartouche on the reverse where you can engrave initials if wanted. The flowers and ivy all send messages of clinging to me and thinking of me, so it would originally have been a gift of love. Inside are two glazed compartments for photographs. The original bale is faceted.
